Designer Nguyen Cong Tri has been invited to launch Vietnam International Fashion Week (VIFW) Fall/Winter 2017, which is taking place in Hanoi this November.

Le Trang, Director of Multimedia Company, representing the organising board, said the selection of designers plays an integral part of any fashion event.

Designer Cong Tri has opened the VIFW for five consecutive years. In 2014 he became the first Vietnamese designer to join the Asian Couture Federation. His new collections have been warmly received at VIFW every year.

Cong Tri opened the VIFW with his collection No.8 the same year. As a result, he received an invitation to participate in Tokyo Fashion Week in 2015 and 2016. His designs help to popularise Vietnam’s people and landscape around the world.

Vietnam International Fashion Week (VIFW) Fall/Winter 2017 will take place on October 31-November 3 at the National Convention Centre in Hanoi.
